It is trendy these days to live in the present moment forgetting the past and not worrying about the future.
The Art of Living courses stress on the advantages of living in the present moment least realising how bad that advice is.
It is only the selfish who will forget those who lent them a helping hand and were there when they were in despair.
There is someone I know who pushes herself in people’s lives just to be there in their present moments.
Looking at my own life, I have left no stone unturned to help those who today strongly believe living in the present moment.
Living in the present moment would mean moving on leaving behind those who have helped them reach where they are today.
How can anyone choose this path. I am the one who is left behind and it hurts. I have gone all out to help many stand on their own feet and I never thought that I would be history as far as they are concerned.
I have a corner in my house where I sit and reminisce and in the process think of those who lent me a hand in time of need. I just dial their number and remind them of the time they were in my life. And whethere they would need any help from me and that I would be there for them just as they were there for me.
Living in the moment has been taken literally by some and they have dropped those who were there in their past life just as they would the garbage in their homes.
I strongly believe in living taking with me my past, my present and planning for the future.
What are memories after all. Why do so many maintain diaries and read them through bringing back their memories.
If one lives only in the present moment and makes no plans for the future it could cause many a problem.
Living in the present moment therefore needs a re-think.

It will be useless keeping memories for if the past was hurting, the hurt continues to hurt the heart. Keeping some memories like love letters is like keeping a rat.Let us always face the present time and look up the next day that serves as future.
When you are just living in the present moment you are throwing away everything including people.
'Living in the present moment'- the phrase means stop fretting over the past or worrying about the future over which you have no control. It doesn't mean you forget the lessons which the past taught you or the people who have been kind to you. That would be a very narrow outlook of the phrase.
Yes in Art of Living, Guruji always tell us to live in the present moment because there is where our happiness lies. In fact, the best thing that
My own experience tells me that many have taken that advice literally in the sense they have shut the door and forgotten those who were there in their past. You have clearly explained what that advice means but that is not being followed.
Sometimes, living in the moment is necessary to capture certain events in our minds. There is nothing wrong with that. Planning for the future is good because it helps us to control our destiny. But, sometimes other forces create and force a moment that we must live in entirely, however long it takes.
